Night shift
A weird Palermo, gloomy as never before. A dark-haired girl drives all night for seemingly no reason. Is she looking for something or someone? Does she need to finish any job? Or, maybe, is it only a feeling of endless loneliness that makes her stop at pubs and meet men? Truth is elusive and night life can lose itself in the coils of a disturbing dream.

Gianfrancesco Iacono was born in Palermo in 1986. He graduated in Modern Literature and now works as a consultant in the field of cinematography. He also writes for the Rivista del Cinematografo (Rome). In 2013 he has published his novel “Sogno nella via blu”, representing Sicily during the first edition (2012) of La Giara literary prize. Under his belt he has got several literary and cinematographic publications. He paints and draws out of passion.
“Turno di notte” è stato inizialmente concepito come soggetto per un racconto a fumetti. L’idea centrale è poi stata alla base del mio primo esperimento di cinema d’animazione. Volevo infine tentare di offrire un’immagine inedita della città di Palermo, lontana dai consueti stereotipi mediterranei e più vicina semmai ad atmosfere noir e horror.
